hi everybody It seems that there is a lot of hype [1] about mplayer being now GPL, and a possible inclusion of mplayer in Debian; moreover the latest mplayer has 'runtime cpu detection' so it does not (necessarily [2]) need to be packaged for all different i386 CPUs; and indeed Dariush Pietrzak, which cares for the mplayer debian/* files upstream, is working on a complete GPL packaging of mplayer and related components; unfortunately it turned out yesterday that there are non-GPL bits of code around, so don't hold your breath; as soon as the packages are ready, I will sponsor the upload to Debian. bye a.
